The thermostat continues to rise. According to Météo France, a heat wave is passing over France. It is characterized in particular by “its duration and its intensity”, describes the meteorologist. According to the forecasters: “On Saturday, very hot temperatures persist over the southern half and begin to rise gently over the northern half. The extension of the very high heat towards the north amplifies Sunday and especially Monday.

Thus, in the Occitanie region, temperatures reaching 37 degrees in Toulouse on Sunday July 17 are to be expected. A peak of 38 degrees is also conjectured on Monday July 18 in Bordeaux, in the department of Nouvelle-Aquitaine.

These are still uncertain predictions, but Météo France meteorologists estimate that despite the heat wave, reasonable temperatures will be present in the North and East of France. In addition, relatively lower temperatures will appear near the English Channel and the North. The mercury will arrive on Saturday up to 24 degrees in Lille.

During the next week, the sunny weather will give way to more stormy weather, with precipitation. There are still many uncertainties due to the accuracy of meteorological data. Nevertheless, a large part of the French territory will be in a stormy zone, according to the Weather Channel. In our slideshow below, find out what day the thunderstorms will hit where you live.
